Had some fluid taken out!



Recommended Posts

At 7.9cc's in a 10cc band I lost 23lbs in 2 months but it came along with coughing & reflux for the entire 8 weeks.

Went in & had an entire 1.0 removed they said my xray was showing signs of a slip. My band was originally positioned at 2:00 but the xray showed that its coiled around to 6:00 bcuz of the vomitting.

Now I feel absolutely NO restriction at all & I fear regaining the only 20lbs ive ever lost.

I go back May 7th for another xray to see if the band has returned to its original 2:00 position & also to see just how much Ive regained ????

Man, these responses are making me very nervous :/ Got a fill Thursday morning and have had a cough/sore throat ever since. .. throat soar like something is caught and is irritating (itching) the back of my throat. No vomiting, just constantly "clearing" my throat. I'm at 7.5 cc of a 10 cc band. I was banded July 18th of 2013 and this is the very FIRST time I feel like the band is working perfectly and I am in the green zone. ... I see reflux listed on here, but I've never had a problem with that either. Is a unfill my only option? ??

Itchy soar throat isnt one of the too tight symptoms, (I could be wrong) however, my problems did begin when I was filled to 7.5 in my 10cc band. I also had the perfect restriction there and was hardly ever hungry.

My pouch had began to bubble over my band so they took .3 out so now im at 7.2 and I feel hardly any restriction at all now. (i was banded August 1, 2013)

I go back in 2 weeks to see if the bubble is gone then I can get my .3 added back.

I take that back, i felt the restriction at 7.5 but 7.9 was when my problems started with the night coughs and when the bubble over my band developed.

May want to ask nurse or doctor abt the itchy/scratchy throat.

As long as theres no bubble no vomitting no reflux no night coughs you should be fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
